They move forward aimlessly and unconsciously come to a market. Fang Tianxing and Yang an come down to the market. They walk into the crowd.
"Let's go out for a walk. Today is the market. It's very busy outside. There are many people. We can have a look." Yang an said to Tianxing.
Today's market is really very lively. Many people here are jugglers and peddlers of local products. Such rural market trade began to appear in ancient times. After the separation of handicraft industry and agriculture, the number of product exchanges between tribes and between agricultural producers and handicraftsmen increased, and the scale and scope of exchange expanded. From the original accidental trading place, it gradually became a market with a fixed time and place.
The town is very busy, the streets are full of people, and the degree of crowding is comparable to those busy commercial streets. Transactions are happening anytime, anywhere. In the streets and alleys, people selling small commodities can be seen everywhere. Fang Tianxing and Yang an go together and hang out here.
They followed the crowd for a while and came to a shop. This shop was obviously the residence of local residents. They took down a wall facing the street and turned it into a storefront. There are not many people in the small shop. It is mainly operated by a few villagers.
Fang Tianxing and Yang an stroll around, only to see that there are many people in front of them. Fang Tian walks to see that someone is performing acrobatics. The old man at the head is playing with a throwing knife, and the young man is performing spitting fire. Although their performance is good, compared with them, the modern songs and dances of the young men and women on the other side are more eye-catching.
The world is not just a place where swordsmen and swordsmen share grudges, where the craftsmen are wandering and the streets are full of ups and downs. The old man, who is the leader of the acrobatic troupe, has a steady and steady movement, but he is very experienced in raising his hands and feet.
The two young people who seemed to be his apprentices performed their own programs, and their performances were crisp, natural and unrestrained. The little apprentice performs huff and puff of fire, drinks a mouthful of wine, and then spits out. The flame huff and puff out from his mouth, which is very spectacular.
Recently, the gale cooling weather, the teacher Fu felt that some do not adapt. The performance was also more difficult than usual. The old master's Apprentice tried to perform the throwing knife that night for more than ten times without success.
At this time, the apprentice winked at him. The teacher Fu made a gesture and ordered the apprentice to wait. He tried four or five times, but the teacher Fu still didn't do it. Finally, the teacher Fu asked the apprentice to give up the performance.
In order to save the scene, the teacher Fu quickly performed other acrobatics. He broke a porcelain bowl to the ground, picked up a piece of broken porcelain from the ground, twisted it with his index finger and thumb, and the broken porcelain was twisted into fine pieces. In fact, the audience can't see it clearly, but the props should be made like a horse.
If you were an ordinary person, you would have been scared. The hard porcelain bowl easily turned into stone powder in the hands of the teacher Fu. How powerful it is. Although Yang an did not try whether he could do it or not, he would not pay attention to this kind of juggling.
Yang an disdained said: "is not to break a porcelain bowl, for network authors, just like ordinary people crush ants so simple."
"Your porcelain bowl must be made of flour. Do you think it can deceive me?" Yang installed a familiar look: "this kind of juggling, I see a lot."
Yang an thinks that juggling in the rivers and lakes is all deceiving. These acrobatics originated from the folk, but this kind of scene flourishes in the countryside and has a long vitality.
"Of course, these acrobatics are fake, but they are not deceptive. We all know that those are fake, acrobatics is the use of skills to deceive the eyes of the audience, as a means to please the audience Fang Tianxing said.
The audience of the acrobatic troupe is less and less, and the teacher Fu can only smoke dejectedly. Fang Tian walks over and asks, "teacher Fu, how long have you been doing this? Now it seems that there are not many people coming to see it."
"I'll go through the top, jump around and dance with guns and knives. Acrobatics is famous all over the world, and everyone is the best in martial arts. you can't control everything in a traits ' world. Now that I'm old, I can't do high and low shows, but since we chose this industry, we have to go on. Even if the audience boos and leaves, I can't make my acrobatics vulgar. " The old master said, looking at the performance of the opposite men and women.
On the other side, the performance was more lively. There were a few couples dancing with music. Their actions were vulgar and exaggerated. A lot of people were watching. The content of their performance is not new. It is a combination of dance performance, humming some obscene words and tunes, and doing dirty movements such as twisting body and undressing with songs
Dim lights, passionate music, the stage dressed in three-point women dance to their heart's content, the audience look excited, repeatedly applaud. The whole process is noisy, sensational, provocative, ridicule, play yellow edge ball and so on, all kinds of vulgar things.
Fang Tianxing's heart is also very emotional, generally speaking, people face things will have three thoughts, the desire to possess, calm thinking and pleasant appreciation. From low to high are: stimulation, leisure, information, knowledge, thought and aesthetic needs.
Stimulation is to arouse people's desire and satisfy people's animality, which is the lowest level. This is the psychological basis and market basis of all vulgar works.
As long as the animal side of human nature still exists and the desire relationship between human and the outside world still exists, it needs to seek stimulation, venting and satisfaction. We can only control it to a minimum, such as not publicizing, not for profit, not harming teenagers.
On the contrary, the highest level of these six needs, namely aesthetic needs, is to meet the spiritual needs of the soul, which is often expressed as pure art.
Those Tang poetry, Song Ci, classical music, famous paintings and all classic works that have been refined and cultivated by countless times. There is no stimulation of any material desire, all in the purification of the soul, which is undoubtedly the most elegant. But people live in the world, cannibal fireworks, normal desire or have to have popular works to meet his leisure needs, information needs, knowledge needs.
This is popularity. The standard of popularity is not to stimulate people's desire psychology, but not to separate from people's material reality. Elegant works start from pleasing people's spirit and meet people's aesthetic requirements. And vulgar works make people return to the animal and material side. Elegant works let people sublimate to the spiritual and moral side. No basic aesthetic education, no experience of excellent cultural products, there will be no aesthetic improvement.
Vulgar is the release, elegant is the tempering, elegant works are from the spirit of pleasure, to meet people's aesthetic requirements, popular is the transition zone between vulgar and elegant.
If the works want to be close to the masses, they should rise high and fall low, from the elegant standard to a popular effect, so as to avoid vulgarity. In today's society, the pressure of survival is so great that people prefer to release their nature than to be tempered. So vulgar in the lack of aesthetic environment continue to breed.
Looking at those onlookers, most of them look excited and totally addicted. Fang Tianxing knows that if the masses indulge in these vulgar things for a long time, they are likely to lose their desire to pursue civilization and indulge in animal nature and materiality.
The real good works are in simple terms. Experts and scholars don't feel it is shallow when they read them, and workers and farmers don't feel it is deep when they read them. This is popular. The vulgar content mainly refers to the low taste, vulgar, make people dispirited, rogue, decadent content. It is easier to corrode people's spirit than the progressive meaning and value content that preaches noble taste, positive and enterprising.
After hearing the public discussion, people's morality, public order, good customs and laws are still there, and society will be improved in the process of development. As long as there are people yearning for the light, there can never be no order, like a wild land forever.
Laws against vulgarity are constantly being introduced, and all orders are established little by little in practice. It is undeniable that many people hurt others unconsciously or even consciously when they are hurt by those bad information.
